Head coach Ron Rivera and the Washington Commanders have made it quite clear that second-year quarterback Sam Howell will be the team’s top quarterback entering the offseason and that they have no plans to sign a veteran quarterback this offseason. And it sounds like that’s a positive move in the eyes of star receiver Terry McLaurin.
During an interview this week, Terry McLaurin said that he was impressed with how Sam Howell played during his first start with the team last year and he’s excited to move forward with him.
“His first start against the Cowboys was a great first step,” McLaurin said in the interview, according to Pro Football Talk. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, but I think just the way he handled himself from a demeanor standpoint, the way he prepared throughout that entire week against a really good defense, and the way he handled himself even when he had adversity during the game was outstanding for a guy [making] his first start at the end of the year.
“I know he’s working really hard, where he’s training right now, to be ready for the springtime. And I know the receivers, we’re excited to get ready to help him out.”
We’ll have to see how this move plays out for the Commanders this season.
